The Morganist Empire of Greater Pittsburgh is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Cassandria of Morganstar with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.091 billion Pittsburghers hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pittsburgh. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pittsburghian economy, worth a remarkable 1,561 trillion Golden Morgan Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 220,160 Golden Morgan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Greater Pittsburgh's radio stations, traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, and bins outnumber trees in city parks. Crime is totally unknown. Greater Pittsburgh's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Greater Pittsburgh is ranked 5,016^th in the world and 235^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 408 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
